in Motivation and Support
Hi all! My name is Trista. I am 33 and getting married 9/8/12. My starting weight is 245 and I am aiming to loose 80 pounds before my wedding and ultimately 100 pounds by the end of 2012. I'm looking for other 2012 brides who want to loose weight before the wedding to form a group and support and encourage each other. If you want to join, reply to the post with the following:

    Contrats everyone on your upcoming weddings and thanks for joining the group. Sorry I have been MIA the last couple days, we have been battling the stomach flu at my house since New Years Eve..not fun!!

    I will be weighing in every Wednesday, so I thought we could all post our results once a week whichever day you choose to weigh in. I am down 5 pounds today, but I have to give all the credit to the flu because I havent been able to eat or workout =(.

    Hope you all have a great week!!

    Name: Lana
    Age: 20
    Wedding Date: Still unknown
    Starting Weight: 180 lbs
    Goal(s): -50 lbs

    My fiance and I knew we were going to get married since we met but back in in December of 2010 I was in a motor vehicle accident that broke 20+ bones in my my legs and my right arm. The accident left me bed ridden and immobile. Since then my weight has gone up and down.I would like it to go down and stay down so that on my wedding day I feel as beautiful as he thinks I am.

    The hardest part is how little I am actually able to exercise and it all is going soooo slow

    Goals: 50 lbs by wedding date, and at least 25 by dress shopping (totally freaks me out!!!!). Knowing that I may be a plus size bride was definitely a reality check!

    Count me in! I SO need motivation! I work 3 jobs and am a single mom, so going the gym is virtually impossible, but I am working out from home with The Firm videos (not the program, just a DVD I picked up) My diet is the hardest thing for me, because sticking to 1200 calories a day is hard when you're a carb addict like I am. I need someone to remind me that apples are better than apple fritters. :)

    Check In:

    How's everyone doing so far this week???

    I've done great with my eating so far, but haven't been as motivated about exercise. Part of the problem is that I am still fatigued from the flu I had last week. :ohwell:

    What is your weekly exercise plan?
    5 days cardio -30 minutes minimum
    3 days of strength training
    I am planning to use a combo of treadmill and workout dvds and will be making myself an exercise schedule today
